Meeting the Poor Clares
- The goal is to give young women, whatever their background and life plans, the opportunity to discover our monastic life from the inside.
- Accommodation and talks (introductions to our life, the history of the monastery, Saint Clare and Saint Francis, and the Bible), afternoon snacks, and sharing time among participants all take place in the guest house.
- Meals, work sessions (garden, printing workshop, bookbinding workshop, help preparing starters and desserts, ...), prayer time, and leisure time are shared with the community (within the enclosure).
For young women aged 18 to 35.
